Replaced battery bent when removing, can I still use it?

I followed the tutorial to replace my iPhone SE (1sg gen) battery, and like for many others, only one of the strips of old adhesive came off clean, so I had to pry it out so I could weaken the rest of the adhesive with isopropyl alcohol and carefully get it out with a spudger.

It bent a little bit in the process but I managed to make it flat again and it does not look damaged. Is it a bad idea to reuse it?
